The ribbed tread design, with the optimal siping detail and closed shoulder pattern, and the all season tire compound improve the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The tread design's road gripping ability is due to the siping detail's biting edges, while the tire compound's maintained flexibility effectively resists weather damage. The tread's circumferential grooves actively prevent hydroplaning when driving on-road, by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint.
